It’s been a few months since I acquired the new company, WebMedley. Instead of building a company from the ground up, I’ve purchased the assets from one of my former clients, Lightworks New Media, and its parent company, Faith and Values Media.
One day, I’ll tell the story of the purchase, how it happened, and so forth. It was an interesting event.
Buying assets is much different than starting a company from scratch. I highly recommend it — and given the nature of our economy, there may be some great opportunities right now.
This post is just a “thank you” for all the people who stood by me through the years and helped me get to this point.
On Thursday, November 6th, I’m moderating an event for the Lexington Ad Club. The event is designed to help people understand the top 5 things to do or know about Web 2.0, social media, etc.
I get a lot of “how do I” and “What do you think of” questions from business and organizational leaders. This panel will help address many of these topics.
A few months ago, the Ad Club had another session on search engine marketing, online ads, and social media tips. Everyone thought is was great, but some people asked for a more basic explanation of all this new media.
David Caldwell, President of the Ad Club and VP Creative Services at Preston-Osborne, described the need for a series of techy events for his members.
We put together a program that hits all of the common Net topics and is designed for people who need to know what to do for their organization.
- What is Web 2.0 and how does it apply to my business?
- Search engine strategies: why they matter and how the engines can bring you new clients
- Online advertising: getting started
- Do I need a blog?
- Can I easily learn more about my clients, my company, and my competitors using these tools?
- How do I manage all this?
Scott Clark, Nick Huhn, and Jason Falls comprise our expert panel.
Take a look at the Digital Dialogue Invitation for the event (its a PDF). Bring a friend and bring questions! It’s open to everyone and will be a very relaxed environment.
